A new report says an ad- ditional 350 to 400 students with autism who have "sig- nificant needs" are expec- ted by winter 2020 - about triple the normal amount. The report also says about 16 to 20 of the students will require "intensive sup- ports," which means two or more staff. School board chair Mi- chael Barrett says it can cost tens of thousands of dollars to provide support for a child with complex needs. "The reality is, it will cost hundreds of thousands to be able to service and meet the needs of our most vulnerable," he says. "This is going to be one of these di- lemmas that not just Dur- ham, but all school boards are going to face." The overhaul of Onta- rio's autism program will see children under age six receive up to $20,000 a year, while those over six will get $5,000 a year. Childhood budgets up to age 18 will be capped at $140,000 for kids entering the program before age six. Lifetime funding for those entering at an older age will be limited to $55,000. In March, the govern- ment said families will be allowed to renew current behavioural therapy ser- vices when they expire, for an additional six months, to help adjust to the changes. But at some point, many children and youth who have been receiving sup- ports and therapy in the community will be looking to school boards. At the same time, school boards are facing the pros- pect of fewer teachers as a result of class-size changes, as well as funding cuts. For example, for the past two years, the Durham board has received $3.5 mil- lion a year in "local priori- ties" funding, which has funded 27 educational as- sistants, 21 elementary spe- cial education resource coaches and five secondary special education resource teachers. The government is end- ing that funding June 30. There has also been a re- duction to "special inci- dence portion" funding for students who require inten- sive supports. "It's going to be a very difficult budgeting pro- cess," Barrett said, noting that it's too early to specu- late on whether the Dur- ham board will have to make cuts. "There is a belief that the school board is go- ing to fill the gap. The real- ity is, the cost of providing these services is nowhere near being met." Durham District School Board trustees recently re- leased a joint statement that outlines their concerns about the autism funding model and urges Durham families to contact their MPP to voice concerns. Barrett says this is some- thing everyone should be concerned about. "Even parents who do not have children with spe- cial needs, we should all be concerned. There's only one pot of money - and it's shrinking." Officials with the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board recently said about 30 additional stu- dents with autism are ex- pected to join their board by the fall. DURHAM SCHOOL BOARD EXPECTING 350 TO 400 MORE STUDENTS WITH AUTISM OVER THE NEXT YEAR The Autism Advocacy Community and Taxpayers group is protesting changes to the autism support systems. The funding the Ford Conservatives unveiled on Feb. 6 averages just $8,750 per year for a child who receives funds starting at two years of age, but the average cost of intensive therapies range from $50,000 to $70,000 per year. Group members protested near the constituency office of Ajax MPP Rod Phillips on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

A recent example in Dur- ham was the murder of Ari- anna Goberdhan by her es- tranged husband Nicholas Tyler Baig in April 2017. At the time of her death, Go- berdhan had left her hus- band and was living with her parents. Earlier this year, Baig plead guilty to killing Goberdhan, who was nine months pregnant. Pamela Cross, legal di- rector for Luke’s Place, said that many women make their initial inquiries about family law before they phys- ically separate from their partner, perhaps looking into finding out about their rights and responsibilities or child and custody op- tions. “And often the abusive partner can sense some- thing’s changed — it can al- so be a matter of the lawyer not thinking about this pos- sibility and sending the woman home with a busi- ness card or sending mail to the family home,” she said. “As soon as the abuser be- lieves that his partner is contemplating leaving, her risk of being killed by him escalates.” Cross said that what peo- ple often don’t understand, unless they’ve had direct experience with family vio- lence, is just separating doesn’t end the abuse. “They may not be living under the same roof any- more, he might not be able to be physically violent to her as easily but he will pur- sue her into her workplace, he will use the children against her as a tool to get at her, he will haunt her so- cially ... that’s just when women turn to Luke’s Place for support.” The organization serves more than 750 women an- nually, and the women may work with the organization for months or even years while going through family court — and through that time, safety planning is al- ways at the forefront. In addition to safety planning, Luke’s Place pro- vides family law process in- formation and access to a pro bono legal clinic and other lawyer services in the community. The organiza- tion has 20 lawyers from the Durham community volun- teering their time at a clinic once per week, as well as le- gal support workers. “Its summary legal ad- vice, so it’s not full re- presentation; it’s an assess- ment of legal advice and strategy and guidance around documents, what documents need to be com- pleted and how to complete them,” said Barkwell. There are also referrals to lawyers in the community for women who can retain the services through Legal Aid support or their own fi- nancial means. In a lot of cases, women do their own legal work be- cause they can’t afford a lawyer or Legal Aid funding has run out, and Barkwell said that about half the women who use the servic- es are in that situation. “That’s a problem across the province and across the country,” added Cross. “More than 50 per cent, closer to 70 per cent of peo- ple — men and women, fam- ily violence or not family vi- olence — are going through family court without a law- yer. But of course, that lack of legal representation is much more significant for a woman leaving an abusive partner.” In addition to dealing with the trauma of the abuse, women may find that their former partner uses the legal process to further bully or intimidate them. “If you don’t have a law- yer, you’re not going to get the outcomes that you need, and what we see women do- ing here and elsewhere is one of two things — is they often will concede on very important legal issues be- cause they just can’t keep up the litigation any longer, or they actually go back to the abuser, they realize they can’t get a good out- come in family court ... I think mostly they think they can keep their kids saf- er that way,” said Cross. Barkwell said there have been changes to family law to move from a less combat- ive system to a more collab- orative system that encour- ages couples to work out a resolution, but conflict res- olution is not effective in cases involving abuse. Legal bullying can in- volve the abuser re- presenting himself in court to force the woman to inter- act with him, bringing un- necessary motions to the court and forcing delays and rescheduling court dates, using up time on the Legal Aid certificate or money. In addition to the legal clinic support, there is space at Luke’s Place for women to do their own legal work; the organization re- cently moved to a new shared location with Catho- lic Family Services at 707 Simcoe St. S. allowing for the seamless coordination of services. The organization also serves clients at an Ajax satellite office and at the Durham courthouse in downtown Oshawa. The or- ganization also trains ser- vice providers across the province, and offers virtual legal clinics for women liv- ing in rural and northern Ontario. A pool of lawyers from across Ontario work through the virtual legal clinic after undergoing training with Luke’s Place. In fact, Luke’s Place de- livers training for the fami- ly court support worker program funded by the Ministry of the Attorney General, and is the lead trainer and mentor for workers who serve 42 court locations across Ontario. Including online courses, in the last five years Luke’s Place has provided training to over 3,000 front-line workers across the prov- ince.

OSHAWA - A growing group of local companies pooling their resources to support community groups recently hit a mile- stone, topping $100,000 in donations. Denis O'Connell of Inde- pendent Project Managers is the president of Compa- nies Who Care, and ex- plains how the nonprofit group started out. "We started out just over two years ago, about six guys were sitting around from all different compa- nies, and we were talking about all the calls we get from people in need - and we just couldn't say yes to everybody." The group decided to pool resources through Companies Who Care in the hopes of making a dif- ference; the original hand- ful of participating compa- nies has since grown to 40, plus two labour unions. O'Connell said that the idea is to use the dollars when they accumulate, so the group meets once every six to eight weeks to con- sider funding applica- tions. "We look at what appli- cations we get; once we get three or four and we've got money in the bank, we say we've gotta meet because we don't want money in the bank, we want to get it out there," he said. O'Connell explains that the group operates without any overhead, with profes- sionals donating services for things like bookkeep- ing. The typical beneficiary receives $800 to $5,000 and there is a criteria for awards. Groups that bene- fit should be in Durham Re- gion, the money must go to an immediate need, and priority is given to dona- tions that benefit children and youth. The beneficiaries have included organizations like Back Door Mission, Nova's Ark, Mary Street Community School, Sun- rise Youth Group, YWCA Durham, the Boys and Girls Club of Durham and more. Last Friday, Companies Who Care presented a $5,000 cheque to the Robert McLaughlin Gallery - the dollars will be used to give kids the opportunity to at- tend summer art camp. O'Connell said that the group's original goal was to raise $100,000 in three years, and Companies Who Care is proud to be a year ahead of schedule. He said he's hoping more business- es step up. "The need is great, and we need even more compa- nies to join us." For more information about donating or applying for a grant, visit compa- nieswhocare.ca.

The results of the school board's 2017/2018 school cli- mate survey were present- ed to trustees at the April 1 standing committee meet- ing. The data shows 23 per cent of elementary students who took the survey report- ed being bullied at school - a number the school board says is consistent with pro- vincial results and a slight improvement over DDSB re- sults from the previous year. Twelve per cent of high school students reported be- ing bullied at school - the same as the previous year. "Our No. 1 area of con- cern is verbal bullying, for both secondary and ele- mentary students," says Ken MacNaughton, the DDSB's administrative offi- cer for safe schools. Of the students who re- ported being bullied, 23 per cent of elementary students and 16 per cent of high school students said the bullying was verbal - the second most common type was social bullying. MacNaughton says those forms of bullying often tar- get a student's appearance or grades. Officials stress bullying appears to be on a downward trend in Durham. National data collected by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, shows a steady decline over the past 10 years in the number of Durham students in grades 7 to 12 - from all school boards - who report being bullied. That number for Dur- ham was 16 per cent for 2017, which is below the provincial average. The DDSB's 2017/2018 survey shows 88 per cent of elementary students and 84 per cent of high school stu- dents feel safe at school - there is also a breakdown of how safe students feel in specific areas of the school. For example, 97 per cent of elementary students and 96 per cent of high school students who responded, said they feel safe in the classroom. "It's the washrooms and change rooms that tradi- tionally have been lower than other results, but still quite a high number of stu- dents feel safe ..." Mac- Naughton told trustees - the data shows 86 per cent of ele- mentary and secondary stu- dents feel safe in wash- rooms, and 85 per cent feel safe in change rooms. The Ministry of Educa- tion requires school boards to conduct anonymous school climate surveys at least once every two years. Surveys must include questions on bullying and harassment related to sexu- al orientation, gender identi- ty and gender expression, as well as questions about sex- ual harassment. All students in grades 4 to 12 were eligible to participate in the survey, as well as all DDSB staff and parents and guardians. The online survey was open from mid-November 2017 to March 2018. School board staff say parent and guardian partici- pation increased "signifi- cantly" by about 200 per cent, because the survey was easy to complete online or on a cellphone. The DDSB's 2018/2019 school climate survey re- cently wrapped up - it was conducted from Jan. 21 to March 29. This year's survey was expanded to include more questions about mental health and well-being. HOW SAFE DO DURHAM KIDS FEEL IN DDSB SCHOOLS? The Durham District School Board has released the results of its 2017/2018 school climate survey, which includes statistics on how safe students feel at school, and what percentage of students report being bullied.

You feel like you belong there. The picturesque course near Port Perry has committed more than ever to no surprise pricing for its patrons, reinforcing four fundamentals with respect to the green fees. • When the club quotes a price for green fees and power cart, it already includes the HST tax — there are no hidden fees. • Oakridge does not give tee times away to discount re-sellers — the best price will also be that which is offered by the club. • The club no longer hosts large tournaments — tee times have never been more accessi- ble. • And the club’s modern membership uniquely allows customers to control their money — there are no month- ly-spend minimums or annual dues, and account credits carry over to the following year. “Our accessibility to the tee for our members and daily golf- ers is what we’re focusing on,” explains Shawn Plain, the club’s Director of Golf and Head Pro- fessional. “We decided to focus on what we are — that’s a golf course. We have member golf- ers, we have daily golfers, we have league golfers and we have relationships with a lot of our golfers, so we want to make sure that they have a relationship with their golf course.” The first course designed by Thomas McBroom, now a giant in the industry, Oakridge pro- vides plenty of challenge, enjoy- ment and natural beauty over its 18 holes. Elevated tees lead into narrow and well-guarded fairways that meander through a mix of grass- land and wooded areas atop the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine. “It’s like a golf community,” explains golfer Todd Michael. “Not just the owners and the staff but the golfers as well. And it’s genuine … no schmoozing allowed at Oakridge.” “I’ve been a member at Oakridge for 20 years. They make my golf enjoyable,” adds Fred Wynistorf. “I haven’t had to book my group’s weekly Thursday tee time for as long as I can remember. The pro shop does it for me. They make everything easy for us at Oakridge.” Visit www.golfoakridge.com for more information. 23 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , A p r i l 2 4 , 2 0 1 9 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m DURHAM - Numerous charges have been laid against an Oshawa man ac- cused of asking a friend for a ride Tuesday afternoon, only to produce a gun and steal the victim's car. No injuries were re- ported as a result of the carjacking in the area of Maple Grove and Nash Roads at about 3:20 p.m. April 16. The victim said he'd picked up an acquain- tance in Oshawa, then was directed to the dead end of Maple Grove Road, where the suspect threatened him with a gun and stole the car. A report sometime later of a suspicious vehicle led police to Waverly Road. By the time they arrived the vehicle had left, but fur- ther investigation resulted in officers obtaining a search warrant for a resi- dence on Lansdowne Drive in Oshawa. Members of the tactical support unit entered the house and arrested a sus- pect. Cops seized a pellet gun, a crossbow and a load- ed flare gun. Christopher Vella, 39, of Lansdowne Drive faces charges including robbery using an imitation firearm, pointing a firearm, vehicle theft, possession of proper- ty obtained by crime, driv- ing while disqualified and possession a weapon con- trary to a court order. Durham police conduct RIDE after Leafs' game, arrest four for impaired driving DURHAM — Four peo- ple were arrested for im- paired driving after Dur- ham police set up a RIDE checkpoint at the Oshawa Go station following Wednesday night’s Toron- to Maple Leafs game. Cops checked 350 motor- ists departing from the Bloor Street station be- tween 10:30 p.m. April 17 and 12:30 a.m. Thursday, looking for sports fans who’d had too much to drink. In addition to the four impaired arrests, two more drivers received three-day licence suspen- sions for registering a warning on roadside blood alcohol tests, police said. Further initiatives such as Wednesday’s are planned, police said, re- minding fans, “If you’ve had too much to drink, a one-hour train ride will not sober you up.” DURHAM MAN ACCUSED OF PULLING GUN AFTER ASKING FOR RIDE NEWS The Chartwell Ballycliffe Lodge site plan application proposes a new three-sto- rey, 192-bed long-term care building to re- place the existing building located on the north side of Station Street, west of Har- wood Avenue South in Ajax. The applicant is working with the town to finalize site plan approval, to enable the new building to be constructed prior to the existing building being demolished, so that existing residents don't have to be moved offsite during construction.

Tinnitus is classified as a continuous ringing, buzz- ing, hissing, humming or even roaring in the ears. It has many causes, includ- ing injury to the head or ears, infection, blockage, hearing loss and the use of certain medications. Irene Nicholaou, an au- diologist at The Hearing Room in Oshawa, says tin- nitus is very common. "Usually, when you have tinnitus, it's caused by hearing loss," says Nicho- laou. "Even a normal hear- ing person, if you put them in a quiet room, they'll hear some form of tinnitus." Craig Robertson, 52, is a longtime musician and professor of radio broad- casting at Durham College in Oshawa. He is also an on- air radio host for 105.9 The Region. He says he began experi- encing tinnitus 10 years ago and it has only gotten worse over time. "Being a musician and working at a radio station, I've lost a lot of my hear- ing," says Robertson. "It didn't bother me much back then. Now, it's become chronic." Robertson says he expe- riences multiple sounds, but primarily hears a high- pitched "squeaking" and occasionally experiences "spikes" prompted by noise. As a part of his diagno- sis, Robertson was fitted for a hearing aid. Hearing aids are often used to help patients cope with tinnitus by amplifying other sounds and drowning it out. However, Robertson says for now, it isn't neces- sary. "It's not to the point where I need a hearing aid," he says. "It's also real- ly expensive." Aly Beach, 22, is a stu- dent at the University Insti- tute of Technology (Onta- rio Tech University). She lost significant hearing in her childhood due to severe inner-ear damage caused by multiple ear infections. She now requires a hearing aid and says she has struggled with tinnitus ever since she was a child. "I didn't know life with- out the annoying ringing in my ears," says Beach. While hearing aids can "help distract" Beach, she says she still hears ringing and "unintelligible whis- pers," which she describes as her brain "trying to make sense of other nois- es." "It's worse when it's qui- et, it sometimes keeps me up at night," she says. "You learn to live with the ring- ing because you don't know any different." Beach says she feels she "doesn't think there is enough research" into tin- nitus and while some may think her affliction is sim- ply annoying, she insists it "affects your quality of life." According to Statistics Canada, approximately one in five people reported their tinnitus was severe enough that it impacted their sleep, concentration, or mood. Nicholaou says there is no "pill" for a cure but there are options for treat- ment, such as habituation therapy, which helps pa- tients mentally deal with the sound and learn to tune it out. "(Tinnitus) is caused by damage to the hair cells in the ear and we haven't learned how to regenerate those yet," says Nicholaou. "Habituation can help eliminate those strong re- actions." For Robertson, he says he wants more people to be- come aware of tinnitus so it can not only be avoided, but so that those who have it don't feel alone. "The one thing that needs to be spoken about is how to cope more because it's incurable," says Robert- son. "I'm happy to tell the world about this."
